Akamai screenshot
72.06 KB, image/gif
Details 
Build ID: 2002-09-16-08, All OSs.  

This works fine with IE 6/Opera for Windows 2000.

Akamai's website uses this rule:

a:hover,.body:hover,.utilitylink:hover,.utilitylink:hover,.bodysmall:hover,.footerlink:hover,.learn:hover,
headertext:hover {
	text-decoration: underline;
    }
which causes all text on their page to get text-decoration: underline applied
when you hover over it.  Very annoying.

I've contacted their webmaster. (webmaster@akamai.com)
I see the same on news.ft.com
I filed bug 169223 for this (my first bug, woohoo).
looks fixed to me. thanks stephen

Not fixed.  Did you use a trunk build, Bob?  I still see this with
2002-10-29-08, Windows 2000.

in the bug. updating to new url

This is fixed with dbaron's fix to bug 169083.

Bob, how should this bug be resolved, since Akamai's code remains the same, but
the client's fix alleviates the issue?
as WFM I think.
